2021-07-14T13:30:06.856Z


Usually restrained at 25km / h on the road, some high-end electric scooters can be ridden at high speed on the road.


"Ah, you can't take it anymore," smiles YouTuber Jeff Riide, well known to fans of small electric cars. In front of him, Julien Goullancourt, owner of the Fastride store in Levallois-Perret (92). This connoisseur of powerful scooters has just completed a few laps of the Angerville circuit (91) on a top-of-the-range model capable of accelerating from 0 to 100 km / h in less than 6 seconds. Launched on a long straight line, the machine can approach 130 km / h. A burst of speed that pulls hard on the arms and legs. "It's super hard to maintain a support on the ground", slips this trader. “It's physical,” adds the YouTuber.

In Angerville, these enthusiasts have trusted the track usually dedicated to karting to organize a large gathering of thrill-seekers on scooters. 75 signed up to rush all day. Extreme “trotters” like Cédric, who came from Val d'Oise (95): “The feeling of riding really pleased me”. He denies using the machine to move around town at full speed: "I use my car," he smiles. Mathieu him, rides his car in the streets of Paris, "Good not at this pace", tempers the one who also practices motorcycles.

Here, almost all of them claim to keep their high-powered scooters warm for riding on circuits or on private roads. Outside, the practice is illegal. Chaining these bursts of speed is punishable by a fine of 1,500 euros. All the more reason to make the most of these few hours of unbridled skiing. "Here we have the opportunity to send what we have in our machines", rejoices Mathieu, who has invested nearly 6,000 euros in his scooter. Daniel has brought back three of the five models he owns: "It's a pleasure, there is autonomy, great driving". For these three models, he spent no less than 7,000 euros.

For this biker, the scooter has brought new experiences: “It's more sporty because we are standing. The sensations are different: acceleration, braking, curves. It's another passion ”. “It's my hobby, my way of escaping from work, from my worries,” adds Cédric.
